Built in 1898, this Gothic-style gem is part of the Santa Croce complex, constructed and later entrusted to the Bigi Fathers by Cav. Giuseppe CESARINO, along with the adjacent building, which was, at the benefactor's request, transformed into an educational institution for young people. The decorations are of a high standard, and the overall effect is evocative and aesthetically pleasing. The modestly sized church regularly hosts weddings, thanks to the beauty and solemnity of the building, which enhances the wedding ceremonies. (source: Municipality of Sapri)

Scario is a small village that still retains its maritime character. The small harbor still houses many fishing boats and small vessels. Its secluded location makes it a quieter place than nearby Sapri and Policastro Bussentino.

This bike path is newly built. It currently ends near the town of Villammare, but the municipality plans to extend it. The path is very well maintained and picturesque, with a stunning view of the Gulf of Policastro.

An imposing bronze statue dedicated to the legendary Gleaner of Sapri, the protagonist of Luigi Mercantini's famous poem. It depicts the young peasant girl who, according to the poem, witnessed Carlo Pisacane's ill-fated expedition in 1857. Located on the Sapri seafront, the statue overlooks the Gulf of Policastro and offers a spectacular panoramic view, a symbol of freedom and historical memory.
